? Bloomberg runs on any windows machine. AFIK, doesn't create any system instabilities.

lol, yeah send snail mail, that'll definitely be read. SAC doesn't recruit independent traders. If you are a big trader at some fund / IB, then maybe. It's who you know. Definitely not a "send your resume and we'll think about having you" kinda place. If you have a reputation on wall street...

How much you manage...that may be the reason...

That's a good point. And the problem crosses multi assets, everything behaves anti technically, it's unbelievable. You have to take more risk for less returns. Need to adapt, roll with it, improvise now, more than ever.

Yeah, ok. Not that easy bud. 1) On Bloomberg Basic terminal, you can't interchange machines 2) On Bloomberg Anywhere, there's fingerprint recognition software or a 30sec random secure Id token to get you in. You can't hack the thing.

Wadu know John M. The guy is a market maker in credit derivatives at CSFB, who the hell are you?

Don't do it. 3 to 5 pips a day is very easy, you get the high from the high win/loss ratio but you're going to hit some serious losses at some point; also I can't imagine what your stop loss is. Any market shock will erase months of profits. Seems a little wobbly to me. Stick to the real...

... Day trading with 20mill on a few names Give it a try, lol. That should be funny.

Just compute them...
